LONDON (Reuters) - A group of Christian protesters in Scotland has called on police to prosecute a theater company for blasphemy because it is putting on a play about a gay Jesus. "If there is a blasphemy like this, Christians have to stand up," said Stephen Green of Christian Voice who protested outside a theater showing Terence McNally's controversial play "Corpus Christi" at St Andrews University. "Jesus Christ is being portrayed here as a foul-mouthed, drunken, promiscuous homosexual and that is an insult to my faith," Green told BBC Radio. But the play's director, Zsuzsi Lyndsay, defended the production: "He is not portrayed as a drunken foulmouth. He doesn't say one bad word throughout the play." Christian Voice was not placated. It has formally lodged a complaint with police, arguing that the American playwright's work was blasphemous. No decision has been taken yet. ? Reuters 2004. All rights reserved.

I meant the guy who wrote this play or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you can't say that without having read or seen the play. that's just silly. |
||||||||

||||||||

legally it won't come to anything. I would be very surprised if it did. |

the largest political party in the Netherlands was trying to push through the idea that blasphemy would be easier to punish in the future, just a few weeks ago. needless to say, we all had a laugh and a good time was had by all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forgot to mention that this largest political party is, ofcourse, Christian. |

Legaly they may have a chance under Hate Crimes Legeslation. But it would be my guess would be that the judge would say that "If you find a plays subject offensive, don't watch it". The plays producers would have to have a disclaimer, "Some people may find this play offencive....." If the case was found in favour of the Christians there would be a better case against them in a counter suit and they would be open to "deformation and hate crimes" themself. |

If Jesus is gay it's because when he ascended into heaven and united with the father and the holy spirit, he all of a sudden had memories of getting Mom pregnant and it turned him into a gay serial killer. My logic on this point is irrefutable. |

Hey, big deal, they are protesting. If it was a gay muhammed the cast would have been dead by now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except that it still doesn't answer the main question, whether jesus is gay or nay. |

This is true. But it's kind of like pointing out that cancer is worse than dysentery - ideally you'd prefer to have neither. |

Oh come on. Even before he gained the memory of boinking his mome he wore a dress and preferred the company of men. And his death is one big gay BDSM fantasy - getting whipped and beaten by sweaty muscular Romans. |
||||||||

his... mome. His mome rath. Which then outgrabe. |

well what do you expect? he was born out of immaculate conception.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought he was born out of a vagina. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not a vagina, THE vagina!! BLASPHEMER!!!!! |
||||||||

I get a juvenile thrill out of seeing Christian groups get all wound up about things. Like in the US when they all go mental about Maralyn Manson coming to town :) |
